Ever so often, L'Oreal curates amazing collections in collaboration with its brand ambassadors and for Summer 2016, we have a pink-themed collection featuring six different nail and lip colors. Available for a limited time only, the L'Oreal Collection Exclusive Pinks Nail Polish ($7.50 CAD) are just stunning! To see some swatches, click.......Eva's Pink:
More of a mauve-y nude, Eva Longoria's shade is definitely one of my favorite out of the collection. In fact, it reminds me of one of my favorite shades from Julep called "Joy". The formulation is slightly sheer but the polish is very easy to work with. I needed three coats for a completely opaque coverage.

Blake's Pink:
Blake Lively's shade is a very pretty and summery coral pink. Again, the formulation is slightly sheer so I used three coats for a nice coverage.

Doutzen's Pink:
A bright cool-tone Barbie pink, Doutzen Kroes' pink is very rich and pigmented. The polish is such a bright color, making it perfect for summer!

Julianne's Pink:
Julianne Moore's pink is more of a warm hot pink. This one is also very pigmented and buttery, it applied nicely and the color is opaque in two coats.

Liya's Pink:
Another one of my fave shade from the collection, Liya Kebede's pink is a deep, rich fuchsia. The formulation is super pigmented; it was almost a one-coater but I used two coats just in case.

Jennifer's Pink:
More of a deep fall-appropriate oxblood, Jennifer Lopez's shade is very pigmented and gorgeous. The color looks a little more pink than red in the bottle but it definitely applies more like a deep burgundy, not very fitting for the collection but a gorgeous color nonetheless.
